they should just stick to male VAs instead of this split stuff, they're more fitting.

I mean, I was fine with the split stuff once I came to terms with the fact that it's effectively an 11 minute show. Especially since some gags work better with one voice than the other for me.

I don't think they've been doing enough with the split episode gimmick to really justify it so far. but time will tell

Yup.


By the way, today's second-half was voiced by Shigeru Chiba and Toshio Furukawa. You all might have heard them on DBZ for example.

Personally I heavily disagree about the voices, it works best with female voices since half of the joke with Poptepic in the first place is cute girls saying or doing weird and/or vulgar stuff

The repeats don't bother me too much, because it's essentially just a Side A/Side B compilation with you being able to choose which flavor of VA you'd like, with the occasional switched up gag. But they can be annoying for a certain mindset of wanting to see "all the gags" or "the best version" of a skit while being made to sit through repeated gags that you might not have even found funny the first time. This show has done enough that i fully expect for them to play into these variations more in the future, but yeah, if you're not too chill about it, it can be frustrating and take a significant amount of enjoyment out of the show.

the repeat gag isn't good and part of it is they are not making the most of it, but whatever. the show will probably continue to deliver for me in other ways so it's not making me write the whole thing off

it would be kind of neat if what were seeing is a trend of diverging paths, and each episode's "Side B" half is more and more different from "Side A" as we progress through the season

i can get behind that they're not using the repeating gag enough, but it doesn't bother me at all. I like the female voices a lot and even the smaller gags like Popuko Playing A Xylophone While Skiing, Okay Next Scene still get a laugh out of me, to say nothing of the insane voice actor gags this ep + Did You See it zooms which killed me. All of it combined with the felt dolls dancing and even the wild music video for the OP make it feel like an avant garde art piece that shouldn't exist for something this stupid, but I love it

Kinda annoyed that they're using the "repeat the first half with different voices" thing as something for the entire show and not just the first episode, feels kinda lazy, like they realized they didn't have enough content(and/or budget) for 12 full episodes so divided 6 episodes of 2 segments into 12 by doing the repetition gag

They're saving their entire budget for Episode 12, which will actually be the entire final episode of Hoshiiro Girldrop.

They'll animate an entire hot springs/bath episode of Hoshiiro Girldrop complete with gratuitous fanservice, except during the fanservice scenes the censorship will be Popuko and Pipimi walking around on top of the frame

to rub it in even further all of the fanservice will be in the guys' side of the hot springs and i will get premium trolled by popuko and pipimi playing a mosaiced fallout 4 in front of some guy's junk :argh:

I like the dual voices because the voice actors just do better jobs in certain skits. Like the RPG skit and the SRW skit were funnier with the old men voices. The singing over me skit was way funnier for me with the womens voices because Popuko's voice actress added a bunch of adlib grunts that were hilarious.

Honestly Devil is a part-timer was pretty bad. It opens on the main characters minions brutally murdering innocent civilians and then expects us to instantly switch over to finding him charming and hilarious with no actual justification or heel turn. His personality just does a total 180 when he turns human for no reason, eliminating the actual premise of the show (he barely ever acts like a devil) and he becomes honestly pretty boring. The other interesting aspect of him having to figure out how the world works is almost entirely skipped and hes instantly a model worker after a timeskip. Also the main heroine is a stock tsundere who quickly falls for him in spite of his minions slaughtering her father on top of all the other massacres he's responsible for, which the show never has the balls to address and undercuts every aspect of the show.

And its just not particularly funny.
